Assignment 5 Vidcast/Podcast

I found a variety of Podcasts that looked interesting, and I decided to subscribeto and try the following ones.

Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips caught my attention right away because I like to use the Grammar Girl website. I could see this being an introduction to a topic and/or a reference resource to be used during practice of grammar concepts.

The Fireside Book Chat: Teen Book Reviews Hostedby Scott Hertzog looks like a good resource to get recommendations for reading. In addition it is an example of how to discuss the literature my students read. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=430841109

Watch and Learn (Reading Rockets) has a number of Vidcasts that show teachers and students involved in reading workshop mini lessons. The English and Reading teachers in our district will be working on incorporating spelling instruction into our curriculum, and there are a number that deal with spelling pattern lessons. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/watch-learn-reading-rockets/id253375672

Meet the Author (Reading Rockets) offersVidcast interviews with some authors my students enjoy. I’m always telling mykids to find inspiration for their own writing from the authors they like. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/meet-author-reading-rockets/id159653704
